Description: The wise thing for Mart Donohue to do when he sees smoke rising from a burning wagon in the heart of Apache country is to hightail it out of there as fast as he can. Instead he rides to help and finds himself accused of the killing of two men and the rape and murder of the fiancée of a Tombstone businessman, a girl whom he has never even seen. The only way out of the fix is for Donohue to produce the girl alive and well. The hunt takes him through Apache Pass at a time when Geronimo is leading his rebel Chiricahua Apaches into Mexico, at the start of one of the most savage Indian campaigns America had ever seen. Then, when he does find her, the girl does not want to co-operate! Just when he thought his troubles were over, Donohue finds they are only just beginning.
